Finally, @TNP99999, the first precise radar with both direction and ranging. @Public, This is a showcase of how a radar can be made. Works best in space but I want to shows you its downsides.

    @TakMashido, I do forget to upgrade the buffer size after finishing the radar, but it is quite hard to overload it unless you are jamming it with PHOTs. Anyway, I will increase its size from 8 to 20 in next update, which would come along with something else as I don't want to make small updates one by one.

    @Ben_Ger Do you mean to have collimator on the receivers? But reflected PHOT can be from any angle and that would remove useful PHOTs. The scan speed is also at its almost-optimal value because counter-intuitively, TPT cannot store small temp values with high precision so it gets worse if I further reduce the speed.

    And very good idea for input of detected phot, but you can increase buffer size, it sometimes is to low. vote up++

    hmm glas and watr can also be used to cheat this. First change phot color, second slow them and change position and shape in display.

    I think that you can move it one pixel up.
